In short, the Eastern Rite came from the apostles. While some, such as Peter, preached in Rome, others went East and taught there. There, they incorporated Eastern, instead of Western culture. As the distance separated them culturally, the two parts of the Church organically took different ways of doing things, though keeping fidelity to Christ's teachings and to the Pope, who was, and still is, in Rome.
